At least half of what people say when thy are "joking" is completely true. So this act of "playing around" is allowing people to say what they really want without admitting how they feel to themselves and becoming vulnerable.

How many of us are tired of this game? Why would anyone want to live in fear? Why wall yourself off with boundaries? It's always just a game; that can't be fulfilling can it?

I'm not going to let myself live that way. Closing yourself off only limits what might be. So listen my loyal readers, it's OK to take a chance. Be spontaneous. Don't let fear close off any avenues. Life is completely unpredictable, there is no perfect timing or situation.
